Which is exactly the problem. pam_unix should only work with

Understood. I am sorry that NIS is so broken. I just don't have time

I do believe upgrading to 0.78 post-sarge is important.

IT is wrong for it to call getpwnam because it cannot change the
password of an account unless it exists in some system that pam_unix.so
understands.
pam_unix understands NIS and that
